Not UGC, but NTA to provide NET certification, JRF award letter

While several candidates might clear the exam, only top six per cent are granted the certification, which makes them eligible for assistant professorship or JRF fellowship. To clear the exam, candidates will have to secure 40 per cent marks, while for reserved category candidates, the qualifying marks will be 35 per cent, as per the rules.

This year, a total of 2,81,907 candidates have applied for the CSIR NET, while 10,34,083 candidates applied for the UGC-NET. This is an increase from the UGC NET June exam when over 9.43 lakh candidates applied. Of the total applicants, 4.63 lakh were males, while 5.71 lakh were females. A total of 37 transgenders also applied for the UGC NET in December, which was conducted in 700 centres across 219 cities.

To get the certificates, candidates will have to follow these steps –

Step 1: Visit the official website, nta.ac.in.
Step 2: On the homepage, click on the ‘e-certificate’ link.

For December exam candidates, the certificates will be released a couple of days after the exam, while the JRD awards may even take a few months to be released, going by the previous trend.
